About

A Legacy of Courage

We are inspired daily by the mission of the founding sisters who in 1872 began their ministry of healing with $5 and a basket to collect donations for the needy and carry medical supplies. By striving to continue their momentum, the SSM Heath Foundation – St. Louis is honored to courageously serve the needs of our community be seeking financial support for our hospitals to sustain our vitally important mission.
